1 Samyèl 28
1 Alò, li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke Filisten yo te rasanble kan lame pa yo pou fè lagè, pou goumen kont Israël. Epi Akisch te di a David: “Konnen byensi ke ou va sòti avè m nan kan an, ou menm avèk mesye pa ou yo.”
It came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for battle to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know for certain that you will go out with me in the host, you and your men.”
2 David te di a Akisch: “Se bon, ou va vin konprann sa ke sèvitè ou kapab fè.” Akisch te reponn a David: “Se bon, mwen va fè ou gad pèsonèl mwen pou tout lavi ou.”
David said to Achish, “So you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “So I will make you my bodyguard all your days.”
3 Nan lè sa a Samuel te fin mouri, tout Israël te deja kriye pou li e te antere l Ramah, pwòp vil pa li. Epi Saül te fin retire nan peyi a tout kalite moun sila ki te konn rele mò yo ak divinò yo.
Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. Also, Saul had banned from the land those who talked with the dead or with spirits.
4 Konsa, Filisten yo te rasanble ansanm e te vin fè kan nan Sunem. Epi Saül te rasanble tout Israël ansanm pou yo te fè kan nan Guilboa.
Then the Philistines gathered themselves together and came and camped at Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped at Gilboa.
5 Lè Saül te wè kan Filisten yo, li te pè e kè li te tranble anpil.
When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled very much.
6 Lè Saül te fè demann SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a pa t reponn li, ni nan rèv, ni avèk Orim, ni pa pwofèt yo.
Saul prayed to Yahweh for help, but Yahweh did not answer him—neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
7 Alò, Saül te pale sèvitè li yo: “Chache pou mwen yon fanm ki konn pale ak mò, pou m kab ale kote li pou mande li kèk bagay.” Sèvitè li yo te di li: “Gade byen, gen yon fanm ki konn pale ak mò nan En-Dor.”
Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who talks with the dead, so that I may go to her and seek her advice.” His servants said to him, “See, there is a woman in Endor who claims to talk with the dead.”
8 Alò, Saül te kache idantite li avèk lòt rad e te desann, li menm avèk de lòt mesye avèk li. Yo te vin kote fanm nan pandan nwit lan. Li te di: “Evoke fè monte pou mwen lespri la, souple, e mennen monte non moun sila ke m va nonmen pou ou a.”
Saul disguised himself, put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him; they went to the woman by night. He said, “Divine for me, I beg you, with a spirit, and bring me up whomever I name to you.”
9 Men fanm nan te di li: “Gade byen, ou konnen sa ke Saül te fè a, jan li te retire sila ki evoke mò avèk divinò nan peyi a. Alò poukisa w ap mete yon pèlen pou lavi mwen pou ou kab fè m mouri?”
The woman said to him, “See, you know what Saul has done, how he has banned from the land those who talk with the dead or with spirits. So why are you setting a trap for my life, to make me die?”
10 Saul te fè ve a li ke: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, p ap gen pinisyon k ap rive ou pou afè sila a.”
Saul swore to her by Yahweh and said, “As Yahweh lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
11 Alò, fanm nan te di: “Se kilès ke m ap fè monte pou ou a?” Epi li te di: “Mennen monte Samuel pou mwen.”
Then the woman said, “Whom should I bring up to you?” Saul said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”
12 Lè fanm nan te wè Samuel, li te kriye fò avèk yon gwo vwa; epi fanm nan te pale avèk Saül e te di: “Poukisa ou te twonpe mwen? Paske se Saül ke ou ye.”
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice and spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul.”
13 Wa a te di li: “Pa pè; men se kisa ou wè?” Epi fanm nan te di Saül: “Mwen wè yon èt diven k ap monte sòti sou latè.”
The king said to her, “Do not be afraid. What do you see?” The woman said to Saul, “I see a god coming up out of the earth.”
14 Li te di li: “Se ak kilès ke li sanble?” Epi li te di: “Yon granmoun k ap monte e li vlope nan yon manto.” Epi Saül te konnen ke se te Samuel. Li te bese avèk figi li atè pou te rann omaj.
He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man is coming up; he is clothed with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and showed respect.
15 Alò, Samuel te di a Saül: “Poukisa ou twouble m e mennen m monte?” Saül te reponn: “Mwen nan gwo pwoblèm anpil; paske Filisten yo ap fè lagè kont mwen, Bondye te kite mwen e Li pa reponn mwen ankò, ni pa pwofèt yo, ni nan rèv. Pou sa, mwen te rele ou, pou ou kapab fè m konnen kisa pou m fè.”
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me and brought me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed, for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has left me and does not answer me any more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I will do.”
16 Samuel te di: “Poukisa konsa ou vin mande mwen, akoz SENYÈ a te kite ou e te devni lènmi ou?
Samuel said, “What then do you ask me, since Yahweh has left you, and he has become your enemy?
17 SENYÈ a gen tan fè selon sa Li te pale nan mwen an. SENYÈ a fin chire wayòm nan soti nan men ou, e Li te bay li a vwazen ou an, a David menm.
Yahweh has done to you what he said he would. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand and he has given it to someone else—to David.
18 Kòmsi ou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, e ou pa t fè gwo kòlè Li vin tonbe sou Amalek, konsa SENYÈ a te fè ou bagay sa a nan jou sa a.
Because you did not obey the voice of Yahweh and did not carry out his fierce wrath on Amalek, he has therefore done this today to you.
19 Anplis SENYÈ a va, osi, bay Israël ansanm avèk ou menm nan men Filisten yo. Konsa, demen ou menm avèk fis ou yo va avèk mwen. Anverite, SENYÈ a va fè bay lame Israël la nan men a Filisten yo!”
Yahweh will give Israel along with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will also give the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
20 Alò, Saül, lapoula, te tonbe atè nèt. Li te plen laperèz akoz pawòl a Samuel yo. Ni pa t gen fòs nan li, paske li pa t manje manje nan tout jou sa a, ni nan nwit lan.
Then Saul immediately fell his full length on the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all that day, neither that whole night.
21 Fanm nan te rive bò kote Saül. Li te wè ke li te tèlman gen krent jiskaske li te sezi, e li te di li: “Gade byen, sèvant ou te obeyi a ou menm e mwen te pran lavi mwen nan men m pou te koute pawòl ke ou te pale mwen yo.
The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, She said to him, “See, your woman servant has listened to your voice; I have put my life in my hand and have listened to the words that you said to me.
22 Koulye a, pou sa, souple koute vwa sèvant ou an e kite mwen mete yon mòso pen devan ou. Manje pou ou kapab gen fòs lè ou pran chemen an.”
Now therefore, I beg you, listen also to the voice of your woman servant, and let me set a little food in front of you. Eat so that you may gain strength for when you go on your way.”
23 Men li te refize. Li te di: “Mwen p ap manje.” Men sèvitè li yo te ankouraje li e li te koute yo. Konsa, li te leve sou tè a pou te chita sou kabann nan.
But Saul refused and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him, and he listened to their voice. So he rose from the ground and sat on the bed.
24 Fanm nan te gen yon jenn bèf gra nan kay la. Byen vit li te kòche li, li te pran farin, li te frape l fè bòl, e li te kwit li fè pen san ledven.
The woman had a fatted calf in the house; she hurried and killed it; she took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread with it.
25 Li te mennen li devan Saül avèk sèvitè li yo e yo te manje. Apre yo te leve sòti menm nwit lan.
She brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they got up and left that night.
